God sent his son to die on the cross and take upon himself the selfishness and independence that separates us from a Holy God. On the cross, Jesus paid the debt that was due over all of our lives. After three days he rose from the dead providing limitless life for all who choose to accept him. He provided the way for us to live at peace with God in this life and into eternity beyond. God’s power, the Holy Spirit, works in the hearts of those who have placed their trust and lives in the finished work of Christ and want his powerful love to live in and through them. The fullness of life that Jesus spoke of can only start as we get right with our Father and Creator. If you would like to take a step towards God then pray the following prayer:

“Father God, Thank you for the sacrifice of your son, Jesus Christ. I now ask for forgiveness for my selfishness and independence towards you. Through the power of Jesus’ resurrection please give me new life today. Please send your Holy Spirit into my life to transform me from the inside out and make me the person you designed me to be. Amen”
